Men with boats cheat

[Boatsandcoats]

The subject says it all!

I’ve long believed that men only buy boats to use them as floating love shacks. My friend thinks I’m being ridiculous and says boats are just a great lifestyle choice. Recently, she told me her husband is thinking of buying a boat, and I couldn’t help but give her that look! She insists he’d never cheat, but in my experience, every man I’ve known who had a boat wasn’t exactly faithful.

Honestly, if my husband bought one, I might even consider it grounds for divorce!

So, am I being unreasonable? Can men own boats without it leading to adultery, or am I totally right to be suspicious? Should men with boats just wear a t-shirt that says, "Don’t trust me?"

(For the record, this doesn’t apply to fishermen making a living or people who live on boats!)

Oh thanks for the advise! I'll take tomorrow and Tuesday off work just to make sure I'm well by Wednesday

Too shaggy!

Is never too many times?

Are we talking yachts or canal boats here?

The kind you see going through the locks on the Thames at the weekend.

You don't really think Timothy and Prunella are up to no good do you?

Me too! Some of the responses are hilarious!

Don't come knocking if the caravan is rocking!

Do we think canal boats count? Perhaps for a very specific type of adulterous sex...

Live in a community with lots of boat owners. Mostly for recreational puttering around / fishing / wake boarding.

zero correlation - many of the people that own them buy them specifically to enjoy time on the water with their families.

for sure if someone with previously no boating experience or interest suddenly buys himself a donzi then one might question his motivations the same as someone who suddenly buys a fancy car.

I think the correlation is ‘anyone who suddenly expresses interest in attractive life upgrades independently of their spouse or family’ is more likely to cheat. It’s not a boat thing!

My dad is a cheater with a boat, but I think he was a cheater before the boat. I’m sure the boat gets used for cheating, but now he’s not cheating on my mother I don’t wanna know because I want to go on holiday on said boat. He got the boat during what I call his 3/4 life crisis. The midlife crisis was the standard issues sports car. Maybe the boats and cheating thing is because (for some) it’s a mid life (or 3/4 life) crisis?

Well my husband has a yacht that he stays on a few nights a month and obviously sails it .Crikey I would eat my hat if he was shagging someone on the boat…shall report back 😆

Live near a marina and know a lot of boat owners (big sailing yachts). I sail myself (DH doesn’t). I don’t know of anyone cheating on their partners. The only thing they are hiding from their partners is the money spent on maintenance and repairs!

Like Kanye West and Bianca Censori on a boat in Venice

Where does a man with a tent stand?

What kind of boats do you mean? If it's something like this then fair play to them tbh

Haha. I had an uncle who was into outdoorsy stuff and sailing. He had a very tiny battered sailing boat at one point. Also a van with a mattress in the back. I was convinced he must have been trying to use either or both to seduce women but I never saw any evidence. The poor fella was about 80 so maybe in his youth? He did have a couple of glamorous ex wives.
I can imagine a bloke showing off that he had a boat as a chat up line, but dk if he would be necessarily a cheat?

In a field, hunched over?

I would estimate about 99% of men who work in the yachting industry cheat though. And thats a conservative estimate

(That's based on my time working in the industry and it I knew they were married i wasn't interested but I was a total rarity it would seem)

True. Way better than seeing someone’s etchings, as offers go.

Whatever you do, don’t swab the poop deck.

I’d like a boat but my husband has expressly said no. This is a good sign isn’t it?

I was on jury for a drug importation trial involving several boat owners. There was a lot of CCTV footage. So I’m not convinced it’s the best place to be doing anything on the sly.

I was all set to give it some YBU but no. They’re cunt the lot of them. Wobbly swinging lad-messers to a man.
